Connecting: Adventure Christian Church Student Ministry

I love to connect with other people in ministry. I recently blogged about going to Atlanta and making some pretty awesome connections there. Yesterday, Greg Zuffelato and I went up to Sacramento, Ca and spent some time with the Student Ministry staff of Adventure Christian Church. They shared some things they've been learning recently and I really enjoyed exchanging thoughts and ideas with them. Here's what Scott, Brian, Drew, Drue, Mandy and Mar said they'v been learning the past couple of months:

• Leaders lead Leaders
• Replace Yourself - Get people to apprentice you
• Get someone who can do what you do at least 80% as well as you do it and train them to do it better than you
• Neither Quality or Connection bring growth alone
• Apprenticing is all about
• Asking someone to observe what you do
• Asking someoen to help you do what you do
• Asking someone to do what you do
• Asking someone to own what you did
• Pick leaders, don't take volunteers!
• Target the parents of your freshman students
• The time you spend WITH someone is often better than any giftcard you could give them
• Things that are important in relationship to volunteers
• The person
• The job
• The measurement (accountability)
• When you calendar...back date.
